Wallace Palmore [WEPALM@lorettotel.net], in an email dated 12 July 2001, wrote "I believe Charles was the only McGuire listed in the 1820 White Co TN censu-- but both a Charles and and an Isaac McGuire were in the 1811 tax list for White Co." He therefore concluded that "Charles and Margaret McGuire were the parent of the McGuire in Lauderdale Co AL but I may be off base here. I do believe Wm R, John W, Fred H and Margaret McGuire (the younger) were brothers and sister."

William + Margaret Elizabeth Guill. Margaret was born between 1786 and 1796 in Georgia; died about 1860 in Lauderdale County, Alabama; was buried in Allen Cemetery, Lauderdale County, Alabama. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
